I have been writing and publishing novels since 2000, so it has been 18 years. Over the past 18 years, he has written millions of words and compiled many editions of the novel. To compile this collection, I looked back at the words I had written over the past 18 years, and found that I had inadvertently written the history of my soul. Therefore, this collection was selected according to the changes of time. There are a total of 18 short stories in the "Story of Smoke Village" series, 8 of which are selected here. What I write about in this series is mostly my childhood rural memories, those people struggling to make a living in the pure natural scenery. Some commentators believe that my novels continue the tradition of lyrical novels by Shen Congwen and Wang Zengqi. In this group of novels, I write more about farmers who endure hardships and live in poverty. I have no intention of singing an elegy of rustic innocence. If the reader is willing, it is not difficult to read the huge sorrow behind "Green Clothes". "Floating Bell Bottoms in 1983" is about my teenager and my teenage brother. Compared with "The Story of Yancun" which looks at life through a child's eyes, the boy in "Bell-bottomed Pants in 1983" has a half-understood understanding of life. He has witnessed the tragedy of his teenage brother's fate - the process of idealism being shattered by real life. Looking back at this novel, I still burst into tears when I read that the young brother cut off his bell-bottoms to use as diapers for him. The child who looked up to his brother back then is now in his fifties and still fighting against life to protect the idealism in his heart. Now, my heart is filled with desolation and coldness. Life is oppressive, but I no longer have the courage to stand up. The narrator of "Boy's Journey" has grown up from the twelve-year-old child in "Bell-Bottoms Floating in 1983" to the age of a teenage brother. He is now eighteen years old and is also facing the same problems that the teenage brother once had. I have ideals in my heart, but I am stuck in the countryside. He is struggling hard to get rid of the future written by fate. This novel is written about the process of struggle. He didn't know what he wanted, but he knew exactly what he didn't want.

"A Mote of Dust" describes that in that turbulent era, "If you want to survive, you must have someone to support you." Li Shuqin remembered her grandmother's words. In the eyes of others, abandoning one's husband and children is just to avoid hurting the people closest to you, just to survive.
